Indira Paganotto drops DREAM ahead of Tomorrowland and ARTCORE takeover

Indira Paganotto released DREAM on July 1, pairing the new single with Dutch-Moroccan vocalist El Karima and a joint roll-out through ARTCORE and Tomorrowland Music. The track sits squarely in Paganotto’s lane, folding euphoric techno into psytrance, and it arrives with the kind of timing that turns a record into a marker for the whole summer run rather than a one-off upload.

That timing is doing a lot of work. Paganotto will play Tomorrowland’s Atmosphere stage, hosted by ARTCORE, on Saturday, July 18, then return to the festival’s Mainstage on Friday, July 24. Ahead of those sets, ARTCORE and Tomorrowland Music will also release a various-artists compilation on July 17, which makes DREAM feel less like a standalone single and more like the opening move in a broader July campaign.

Tomorrowland’s 2026 line-up places Paganotto alongside Ben Klock, BIIA b2b Charlie Sparks, Elli Acula, Estella Boersma, Interactive Noise, Marhu and Reinier Zonneveld live on the Atmosphere stage. The festival’s 21st edition will run over the last two weekends of July in Boom, Belgium, under the theme CONSCIENCIA. For a label built around a distinct sonic lane, hosting a room at one of the world’s biggest dance weekends is as much a branding play as a booking.

The same logic is obvious in Ibiza. Hï Ibiza’s ARTCORE residency runs every Sunday from May 31 to October 4, 2026, across 19 dates, with doors opening at 23:30 and the club room framed as a home for psy-techno and hard-hitting sounds. The Sunday program is paired with MESTIZA in the Theatre, and Hï continues to lean on its status as a four-time No. 1 club in the world while Paganotto uses the residency as a weekly proof of concept for ARTCORE.

For minimal techno ears, the interesting part is not that DREAM sounds close to the center of your crate. It is that Paganotto is building the kind of label-to-club-to-festival ecosystem that the scene rewards right now. ARTCORE is already a functioning catalog, with releases running from GUNS & HORSES through Mantra EP with Joseph Capriati and up to ARTCORE 010. DREAM, listed on Apple Music as a one-song, three-minute 2026 release and on Beatport as DREAM (Extended Mix), is cut from the same cloth: a record designed to move through playlists, clubs, and festival line-ups at once.
